Property Information

13A On The Lake

Recently completed,13A On The Lake is Daylesford’s newest luxury lakefront accommodation, located on the quiet side of Lake Daylesford. Designed by a local architect to capture sweeping views of the Lake, Wombat Hill and the township beyond via expansive floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors.

Built over three levels 13A On The Lake has four large bedrooms (each with a comfy queen bed, freshly laundered linen and snugly doona), two ensuites and a main bathroom, providing plenty of space for four couples, yet is equally suited to two couples. The large kitchen, a dining setting for eight and two living areas have all been thought out, to provide plenty of space to kick back and relax. The open plan, free flowing design ensures you are never too far from the stunning view.

Daylesford has some fantastic pubs, restaurants and cafes, however should you decide to dine in then a full chef’s kitchen awaits with a double oven, a gas cook top with five burners, a microwave and a large four door fridge/freezer.

Ducted cooling and heating throughout the house provides a comfortable environment all year round, and the gas log fire adds a little extra to the ambience on a winter evening.

Take a coffee or your favourite tipple onto the deck and enjoy the sights and sounds of the local wildlife along with the lake view. Several Kookaburras are regular visitors and may join you for breakfast or lunch. Al fresco cooking is made easy on the gas BBQ, and for those sunny summer days, electronic awnings shade the deck.

Gaze out after dark to see the twinkling lights of the Lake House and Wombat Hill in the distance, and for early risers the Easterly aspect of the house presents some spectacular sunrises.

Best Available Rate

13A On The Lake is a luxury retreat for the discerning traveller in a unique waterfront location. When relaxing on a comfy sofa and soaking in the fabulous view of Lake Daylesford and Wombat Hill, it feels like you are a world away. Yet its only a few minutes walk to the local Book Barn for coffee and cake; or The Boat House for a delicious lunch.
Whatever the occasion, be it a romantic escape or a getaway with friends or family, our lake front holiday home is a beautiful place to relax, indulge and celebrate life.
There’s plenty of space for families to come together for meals or to chill out and soak up the stunning Lake Daylesford view without being on top of each other. Alternatively couples can enjoy an afternoon glass of wine in a cosy corner on the deck, or share some quiet time in the separate living room.

13A On the Lake has 4 queen bedrooms & 3 bathrooms. The house comfortably accommodates 8 and we assume 5-6 guests will sleep in 3 bedrooms, and 7-8 will use 4 bedrooms. If you require use of all 4 bedrooms, please advise when booking, so we'll open the extra bedroom, making up the extra bed prior to your arrival, thanks

13A On The Lake

Mid Week Getaway

13A On The Lake was architecturally designed to capture the ever changing scenery of Lake Daylesford and Wombat Hill. In summer, the early morning sun peeps over the top of Wombat Hill and greets you with a blaze of colour. Autumn sees the trees turn magical shades of greens, golds, reds and browns. Often an early morning mist lingers over the lake and you'll have front row seats on a comfy couch, watching the ducks & geese pecking at the fresh grass on the foreshore. In winter, the trees directly across the lake take on a different shade of green, often sparkling with rain drops. Spring will awaken your senses with bursts of colour dotted in gardens, warm morning breezes and birds scavenging for twigs, darting here and there. No matter what the season and how nature reacts, the stunning view outside often memorizes our guests.
Whether you are relaxing with a good book, planning which walking track you'll tackle that day, deciding on a restaurant for lunch or listening to your favourite music through the sound system; 13A On The Lake is a fantastic place to base yourself, your family and friends.
Enjoy a two or three night getaway at reduced price. If you are lucky enough to be on holidays or retired, perhaps travelling with another couple or family, then why not take advantage of our mid week special.

13A On the Lake has 4 queen bedrooms & 3 bathrooms. The house comfortably accommodates 8 and we assume 5-6 guests will sleep in 3 bedrooms, and 7-8 will use 4 bedrooms. If you require use of all 4 bedrooms, please advise when booking, so we'll open the extra bedroom, making up the extra bed prior to your arrival, thanks

Stay 7+ nights

Daylesford and the surrounding area has so many things to see and do, a weekend there really isn't long enough. 13A On The Lake is a perfect place to stay and whether you are interested in shopping, dining out, browsing galleries, spa therapy, visiting markets and wineries, or exploring the various bush walking tracks, you will not be disappointed. Trentham, Castlemaine, Ballarat, Macedon and Bendigo are all within an hours drive from Daylesford, so why not base yourself at 13A On The Lake and take your time to explore the region if you can drag yourself away from the comfy sofa and the great view. We have a Guests Compendium suggesting walks, wineries, restaurants, waterfalls and forests ... all worth a visit. Alternatively Daylesford has a fantastic Visitor Information Center and the very knowledgeable staff will happily spend time with you to make sure you discover what the area has to offer. A walk around the lake is a must and is loved by locals and visitors alike.

PLEASE NOTE: A 7 night stay can commence on any day of the week, other than a Saturday.
